AIGA art auction

Eve and Octavia did well at this years AIGA Annual Art Auction. Both of my girls were in the first set of the silent auctions. It was such a great night, and some good pieces up for auction. I was a bit surprised Eve had a bidding war going on over her and Octavia didn't as much. Still can't tell which of my girls will do better then their sisters.

6 months, still got it

Wow, 6 months since I've picked up my red drawing pencil. Apparently it's like I never put it down. Two new roughs for paintings to start soon. Guess who'll be in the studio all Thanksgiving weekend? :)

two girls up for auction

Just dropped off two of my girls for the AIGA Arizona Annual Art Auction. Proceeds benefits Free Arts of Arizona. So please come to see all the local art and you can have a chance to bid on Octavia or Eve. On November 21, My birthday! At the Bentley Projects at 6pm. Can't wait to see these girls in action.

new blog

Where have a been. Well not exactly in the studio. Check out my new blog that's been up and running for the last month or so. Stitched Little Elephant. Don't worry I'll be getting back to some new girls soon.

4 months really!!??

Well when life comes around and throws you some new bones you tend to veer from things for awhile. Just thought I'd ought to post something about this inexcusable amount of time that's been away from my wonderful girls and this little blog. When a special little stick gives you a sign you didn't expect priorities change for a while. And a big move into a much larger place puts your studio in boxes, well time flies!

Good news is, my new studio is going up quickly, as well as an additional blog about the things I'm making for this little new life that's coming along.

Thanks for the twitter love!

New goodies coming soon.

3 new Moleskin ladies

Just a few pages from one of my moleskin sketchbooks. I realized I haven't posted in a long time, um...again. My new website will be done soon and new paintings will be started. So I'll post more and more sketchbook pages while finishing those projects. As always, enjoy the girls. Octavia is still in need of a home, so pass her around. Thanks so much. love, Jt

Octavia

She is finished. Octavia has dark and hysterical secrets.
I'm sorry for such a long wait in between posts. It's been a busy busy March, and it is very nice to be back in my tiny studio again. Two new girls were also started while finishing Octavia. And Katrina is also in the works. She is my ambitious girl from the last post. Her name popped up two days ago while working on Octavia.
